By Virginia Laird
Do you ever get tired of the same old boring exercises? Research suggests when a person gets bored with his or her workout they are more likely to skip out on exercising. It is important to keep the time spent at the gym fun and exciting. Personal trainers suggest people should try new exercises at least once a month, if not more often. A few exercises that are sure to spice up a person’s gym time include:
- Donkey kicks
- Crab walks
- Ninja tuck jumps
Donkey Kicks
Donkey kicks may seem a bit on the silly side, but this exercise offers benefits for the entire body. For most people, it will only take a few of these to begin feeling the burn. For anyone who may not know how to correctly perform a donkey kick, make sure to check out the proper form before trying them out in public or else it may offer a good giggle to yourself as well as your friends (or onlookers). After you get the hang of it, the results may be stunning.
Crab Walks
Crab walks are simple and basic, with many people having done these in their youth. While a person may have great memories of the crab walk being super easy as a child, as an adult this is one exercise that gets more difficult. Crab walks are sure to work the entire body and provide a certain level of sore muscles the next day.
Ninja Tuck Jumps
Ninja tuck jumps may remind most people of a martial arts, a Ninja Turtle move, or may even have some feeling like an American Ninja Warrior. No matter, they are great for the legs and glutes. It is important to know how to perform this workout before putting it to the test in order to prevent injury. Ninja tuck jumps are certain to put a burn in the legs, more specifically the thighs.
No matter what Memphis gym you belong to, or how exciting a workout can be when a person first begins it, stagnation can be a probelm for even the best of athletes. To prevent the doldrums from making an appearance at your workout and to keep it fun and exciting, try employing one of these three exercises.
